Motion restriction by BOX

By using the BOX command together with the GetRobotInsideBox function or the OnErr command, robot power and motion can be restricted when the tool center point (TCP) enters the approach check area (BOX).

Sample project using BOX

In the sample project, BOX2 is set outside BOX1. When the tool center point calculated based on the currently selected tool enters BOX2, the robot will stop temporarily. If the program execution is continued, the robot will resume operation in the restricted status (low speed, low power). Then, when the robot enters BOX1 inside BOX2, the robot will abort operation.

Use the sample project to execute the motion restriction using BOX. The projects is located in the following folders:

  • For 6-axis robot: \EpsonRC80\projects\SimulatorDemos\BOX_sample_C4_B
  • For SCARA robot: \EpsonRC80\projects\SimulatorDemos\BOX_sample_CX8_C

For details of the usage of the project, see below.
